Dear New Evinrude E-TEC Owner,
Congratulations on the purchase of our industry-leading Evinrude E-TEC outboard
engine. Your purchase comes with the full commitment and support of the BRP Outboard team. Your new engine will provide you with years of reliable enjoyment.
The many benefits of the Evinrude E-TEC engine will add hours of fun for you and
your family and your time on the water…
Power and performance…
An Evinrude E-TEC engine is up to 300 pounds lighter than competitive outboard engines. This translates to faster planing with less bow rise so you can see the open
water in front of you. You demand performance and immediate response. That’s
why instant throttle response and hole shot are so important. The key with Evinrude
E-TEC is that every revolution is a power stroke. That means twice the power
strokes of a 4-stroke. Plus the computer-controlled engine management system delivers the perfect fuel mix directly to the combustion chamber for hair-trigger response. The natural 2-stroke advantage combined with our super-natural fuelinjection and combustion system means that you will gain up to 23% more torque
than a comparable 4-stroke outboard engine. Simply stated – more torque, instant
throttle response, less weight, and more power – Evinrude E-TEC will deliver.
In addition, Evinrude E-TEC engines require no dealer scheduled maintenance for
three years or 300 hours. No inspections or adjustments, no changing gearcase
lube, no spring tune-ups – for a full three years, then every three years after that.
This means more time on the water for you and your family.
History & heritage…
Evinrude outboard engines are manufactured in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, in a state-ofthe-art manufacturing facility that is less than 30 miles away from where Ole
Evinrude invented the first outboard engine more than 100 years ago. One hundred
years of life on the water…and counting. And, Evinrude is part of the BRP family of
products; inclusively, over 200 years of heritage. Powerful brands including legendary names such as Ski-Doo® snowmobiles, Sea-Doo® personal watercraft and
boats, and Can-Am® off-road and on-road products. No other company is able to
leverage all of their brands in such an effective way to bring consumers the most innovative and expertly engineered products. Only BRP does this.
Thank you again for your confidence in Evinrude E-TEC engines. As you enjoy your
time on the water, we'd love to hear from you online and encourage you to share your
Evinrude E-TEC pictures. Visit us on Facebook www.facebook.com/BRPEvinrude

help with assembly and operation of the product.
IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGES
This Operator’s Guide contains essential information to help prevent personal injury and
damage to equipment. Safety messages appear throughout this Guide in the applicable
section.
Be careful! Human error is caused by many
factors: carelessness, fatigue, overload, preoccupation, unfamiliarity of operator with the
product, drugs and alcohol to name a few.
Damage to your boat and outboard can be
fixed in a short period of time, but injury or
death, has a lasting effect.
–
Remember, gasoline fumes are flammable and explosive. Always adhere to the
fueling procedure contained in this Operator’s Guide and those given to you by
the fueling station. Always verify fuel level before use and during the ride. Apply
the principle of 1/3 fuel to destination, 1/
3 back and 1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do
not carry spare fuel or flammable liquids
in any storage or engine compartments.
–
Whenever running the engine, assure
there is proper ventilation to avoid the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO),
which is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, and can lead to unconsciousness,
brain damage, or death if inhaled in sufficient concentrations. CO accumulation
can occur while docked, anchored, or underway, and in many confined areas
such as the boat cabin, cockpit, swim
platform, and heads. It can be worsened
or caused by weather, mooring and operating conditions, and other boats. Avoid
exhaust fumes from your engine or other
boats, provide proper ventilation, shut off
your engine when not needed, and be
aware of the risk of backdrafting and conditions that create CO accumulation. In
high concentrations, CO can be fatal
within minutes. Lower concentrations are
just as lethal over long periods of time.
–
Avoid standing up or shifting weight suddenly in light weight boats.
A WARNING
For your safety and the safety of others,
follow all safety warnings and recommendations. Do not disregard any of the
safety precautions and instructions.
Anyone operating your boat should first
read and understand this guide before
they operate your boat and outboard.
SAFETY MEASURES — General
–
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoyment and excitement of boating there are
some basic rules that should be observed and followed by any boater.
Some rules may be new to you and others may be common sense or obvious...
irrespective, take them seriously!
–
Be sure at least one of your passengers
knows how to handle your boat in case of
an emergency.
–
–
All passengers should know the location
of emergency equipment and how to use
it.
–
Know the marine traffic laws and obey
them.
–
All safety equipment and personal floatation devices must be in good condition
and suitable for your type of boat. Always
comply with the regulations that apply to
your boat.
Keep your passengers seated in seats.
The boat’s bow, gunwale, transom and
seat backs are not intended for use as
seats.
–
Insist on the use of personal floatation
devices, approved by the U.S. Coast
Guard, by all passengers when boating
conditions are hazardous, and by children and nonswimmers at all times.
–
Proceed with caution and at very low
speed in shallow water. Grounding or
abrupt stops may result in personal injury
or property damage. Also be alert for debris and objects in the water.
7
–
–
Be familiar with the waters you are operating in. The gearcase of this outboard
extends below the water surface and
could potentially come in contact with underwater obstructions. Contact with underwater obstructions may result in loss
of control and personal injury.
Respect no wake zones, rights of other
water users and the environment. As the
"skipper" and owner of a boat you are responsible for damage to other boats
caused by the wake of your boat. Allow
no one to throw refuse overboard.
SAFETY MEASURES — Installation
and Maintenance
–
The outboard must be correctly installed.
Failure to correctly install the outboard
could result in serious injury, death or
property damage. We strongly recommend that your Dealer install your outboard to ensure proper installation.
–
Do not overpower your boat by using an
engine that exceeds the horsepower indicated on the boat’s capacity plate.
Overpowering could result in loss of control. If your boat has no capacity plate,
contact your Dealer or the boat’s manufacturer.
–
Do not operate your boat if you are under
the influence of drugs or alcohol.
–
High performance boats have a high
power-to-weight ratio. If you are not experienced in the operation of a high performance boat, do not attempt to operate
one at, or near, its top speed until you
have gained that experience.
–
When replacement parts are required,
use Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or
parts with equivalent characteristics, including type, strength and material. Using substandard parts could result in
injury or product malfunction.
–
Become completely familiar with the control and operation of your boat and outboard before embarking on your first trip
or taking on a passenger(s). If you have
not had the opportunity to do so with your
Dealer, practice driving in a suitable area
and feel the response of each control. Be
familiar with all controls before applying
the throttle above idle speed. As the operator, you are in control and responsible
for safe operation.
–
Only perform service procedures which
are detailed in this Operator’s Guide. Attempting to perform maintenance or repair on your outboard if you are not
familiar with the correct service and safety procedure could cause personal injury
or death. Further information can be obtained from your authorized Evinrude/
Johnson Dealer. In many instances proper tools and training are required for certain service or repair procedures.
–
Maintain your boat and engine in top
condition at all times. Adhere to the
Maintenance Schedule on page 45.
–
Operate your boat and outboard prudently and have fun. Do not forget that all
persons must assist other boaters in
case of emergency.
–
Prevent injury from contact with rotating
propeller; remove propeller before flushing or before performing any maintenance.

OIL AND FUEL
OIL REQUIREMENTS
OILING SYSTEM INFORMATION
Evinrude/Johnson Brand Oils
The oiling system must be primed on new outboards. Refer to Priming the Oil System on
page 19.
Evinrude/Johnson outboard oils are formulated to give best engine performance while controlling piston and combustion chamber
deposits, providing superior lubrication, and
ensuring maximum spark plug life.
The following outboard oils are recommended
for use in your Evinrude E-TEC outboard:
• Evinrude/Johnson XD100;
• Evinrude/Johnson XD50; or
• Evinrude/Johnson XD30.
If a “LOW OIL” warning occurs, you have a
limited amount of time of normal operation before running out of oil. Refill the oil tank with
approved oil as soon as possible.
Refer to Engine Monitoring on page 34.
Check the oil tank level frequently. Always
“top off” your oil tank prior to prolonged usage
or long trips.
New outboards are programmed to use additional oil during the first two hours of operation
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil is preferred above 2000 RPM.

cold temperatures down to 0°F (-17°C).
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 Oil
If requested, an authorized dealer can program your Evinrude E-TEC outboard EMM for
the exclusive use of Evinrude/Johnson
XD100. Only an authorized Evinrude dealer can program your outboard for this optional benefit. Oil consumption is reduced if
the outboard is programmed for exclusive use
of Evinrude/Johnson XD100 as compared to
using a conventional oil. The XD100 oil setting is not available on all models.
IMPORTANT: If your EMM has been programmed for Evinrude/Johnson XD100,
DO NOT use any other oil unless in an emergency. If Evinrude/Johnson XD100 is temporarily unavailable, a one-time-only use of an
oil that meets NMMA TC-W3 certification
standards is allowed. If you discontinue using
Evinrude/Johnson XD100, you MUST first return to your Dealer to have the EMM reprogrammed back to the original factory setting.
Other Oils
If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not available, you must use an oil that meets NMMA
TC-W3 certification standards.
Failure to follow oil specifications could void
the engine warranty if a lubrication-related
failure occurs.
18
Always keep an extra supply of outboard oil in
the boat. Refer to Oil Requirements on page
18.
If you run the oil tank empty, you MUST refill
the oil tank and prime the oil system before
using the engine. Refer to Filling the Oil
Tank on page 19 and Priming the Oil System on page 19.
If the oil hose is disconnected for any reason,
seal it to prevent spillage. Install a cap on the
hose fitting to prevent contamination.
 OIL AND FUEL
You must use an oil tank equipped with a filter
and an oil supply hose. The oil system must
be purged if air is in the oil supply hose. Refer
to Priming the Oil System on page 19.
DR44607A
Install the oil tank following the instructions
provided with the unit.
NOTICE Consider the installation location of the oil tank carefully. The oil tank is
vented to the atmosphere. To avoid serious powerhead damage, be sure the oil
tank is installed in a location that does not
allow constant exposure to sunlight, rain,
bilge water, or spray. Periodically inspect
the oil tank for evidence of water.
Filling the Oil Tank
PRIMING THE OIL SYSTEM
NOTICE The oiling system MUST be
primed to avoid engine damage from a
lack of lubrication.
Prime the oiling system to remove air from the
system before operating the outboard if:
• The outboard is new – Dealer must prime
the oiling system using Evinrude Diagnostic
software;
• The oil tank is emptied or outboard is run out
of oil;
• The oil supply hose is disconnected; or
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
1) Squeeze the oil primer bulb until a steady
stream of oil comes from the supply hose.
2) Connect oil supply hose to the oil inlet fitting. Secure with the small clamp (13.8

FUEL SYSTEM INFORMATION
A WARNING
Store portable fuel tanks in well-ventilated areas, away from heat sources and
open flames.
Close the vent screw of the fuel tank cap,
if equipped, to prevent escape of fuel or
fuel vapors which could accidentally
ignite.
Do not allow disconnected fuel hoses to
leak fuel.
Always wipe off any fuel spillage.
Fuel Hose Connections
1) If the fuel hose is disconnected for any reason, seal it to prevent spillage. Cap the fuel
fitting to prevent contamination.
2) Connect the fuel hose to the 3/8 in. (9 mm)
fuel fitting. Fasten hose securely with
clamp (18.5 mm) from owner’s kit.
3) Squeeze fuel primer bulb, outlet end up,
until firm.
In the United States, the U.S. EPA requires
"low permeability" fuel hose, fuel primer
bulbs, portable fuel tanks and fuel caps to be
used with outboard engines.
IMPORTANT: Fuel distribution hoses in the
boat must deliver fuel at a specific flow rate.
Minimum inside diameter of fuel hoses must
be 3/8 in. (9 mm).
Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularly
those that include antisiphon valves and filter/
primer units, may have restrictions not allowing the engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient
fuel under all conditions. This can result in a
loss of performance. If a performance problem exists, see your Dealer.
Fuel Filters
A boat-mounted water-separating fuel filter
assembly will help prevent water and other
contaminants from entering the engine fuel
system.
Use of a boat mounted water-separating fuel
filter is highly recommended on all boats.
Boat-mounted water-separating fuel filter assemblies must meet the required fuel flow and
filter specification. Refer to Boat-Mounted

TILTING AND TRIM
POWER TRIM AND TILT
A WARNING
Any malfunction of the power trim and tilt unit could result in loss of shock absorber
protection if an underwater obstruction is hit. Malfunction can also result in loss of
reverse thrust capability.
Correct fluid level must be maintained to ensure operation of the impact protection
on this unit.
When operating in rough water or crossing a wake, excessive bow-up trim may result
in the boat’s bow suddenly rising skyward, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously
injuring occupants.
Some boat/outboard/propeller combinations may encounter boat instability and/or
high steering torque when operated at high speed at or near the outboard’s trim
range limits (full bow-up or bow-down). Boat stability and steering torque can also
vary due to changing water conditions. If any adverse conditions occur, reduce throttle and/or adjust trim angle to maintain control. If you experience boat instability and/
or high steering torque, see your Dealer to correct these conditions.
Some boats plow, or are difficult to plane, when operated in the trim’s lowest position. If your
boat handles unsuitably when trimmed fully bow-down, adjust transom angle or limit the travel
of the power trim.
A WARNING
If the bow of the boat plows the water at high speeds, the boat may bow steer or spin
suddenly, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously injuring occupants.

position in the tilt range or trim range.
Run the boat in the water to determine the
best trim angle.
IMPORTANT: Weight distribution can affect
the performance of the boat. Distribute weight
evenly in the boat.
The boat should accelerate quickly, plane
easily, and run parallel to the surface of the
water at high speeds.
If trim position is too LOW the front of boat will
be DOWN and push water.
If trim position is too HIGH the front of boat will
be UP and bounce.
Tilt
The tilt range allows the operator to tilt the
outboard for clearance when beaching, mooring, launching, or trailering.

If the tilted outboard’s cover contacts the
boat’s motor well, limit the maximum tilt by following the procedures in Tilt Limiter Cam on
page 61.
Trim
In most operating conditions, it is recommended to trim the outboard to the full down
position when accelerating. Once on plane,
trim the outboard up for best performance.
Over-trimming increases engine RPM while
decreasing speed. The best trim setting is
when the highest speed is achieved with the
lowest engine RPM.

 TILTING AND TRIM
IMPACT DAMAGE PROTECTION
Your outboard has a shock absorption system
designed to help withstand damage from impact with underwater objects at low to moderate speeds. High speed impacts with rigid
underwater objects like pilings or boulders
can be beyond the capability of the absorption
system. Such impacts can result in serious
damage to your outboard and injury to boat
occupants from the outboard or its parts entering the boat. Occupants can also be ejected or injured by falling against portions of the
boat as a result of rapid deceleration following
impacts.
When boating in unfamiliar, shallow, or debris-laden waters, seek information on safe
boating areas and navigation hazards from a
reliable local source. Reduce your speed and
keep a sharp lookout!
IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT covered by the outboard warranty.
boat and outboard can be seriously damaged.
DR4412
If you hit any object:
• STOP immediately and examine the outboard for loosening of attaching hardware.
• INSPECT for damage to swivel and stern
brackets, and steering components.
• EXAMINE the boat for structural damage.
• TIGHTEN any loosened hardware.
If the collision occurred in the water, proceed
slowly to harbor. Before boating again, have
your Dealer thoroughly inspect all components.
A WARNING
007021
NOTICE The outboard’s shock absorption system does not work while operating in reverse. If you back into an object,
either in the water or while trailering, your
Failure to inspect for damage after an
accident or striking an object could
result in sudden, unexpected component
failure, loss of boat control, and personal
injury. Unrepaired damage could reduce
your boat and outboard’s ability to resist
future impacts.

Using Your Evinrude E-TEC Outboard
ENGINE MONITORING
IMPORTANT: Your outboard must be
equipped with an engine monitoring system
such as I-Command, SystemCheck, or equivalent. Operating your outboard without an engine monitor will void your warranty for
failures related to monitored functions.
The engine monitoring system warns you of
conditions that could damage your outboard.
The monitoring system consists of a dashmounted gauge, a warning horn, sensors on
the engine and oil tank, and related wiring.
For I-Command and other gauges, refer to the
gauge user’s guide for gauge displays, operation, warnings, and monitoring instructions.
System Self-Test
During engine start-up, pause with the key
switch in the ON position.
SystemCheck — The SystemCheck monitor
self-tests by sounding a half-second beep.
SystemCheck gauges self-test by turning the
indicator lights on simultaneously, then off in

Function
The EMM activates the warning horn and the
gauge displays as follows:
• LOW OIL means that oil in the tank is at reserve level (about 1/4 full).
• NO OIL indicates an oil delivery problem
such as an empty oil tank or damaged oil
system.
• WATER TEMP or HOT indicates an engine
or EMM overheat condition.
• CHECK ENGINE or FAULT is used to indicate other fault conditions identified by the
EMM.
34
Engine monitor system warnings activate the
horn for 10 seconds and the appropriate
gauge light for a minimum of 30 seconds, or
until alarm is acknowledged. If the failure is
momentary (for example, oil moving in the
tank), the engine monitor gauge light or display may remain ON for a full 30 seconds before going out. If the unsafe operating
condition continues, a light or display remains
ON until the key is turned OFF or the failure is
corrected.
The warning will reoccur at the next startup if
the problem is not corrected.
If the EMM senses a problem could cause
permanent engine damage, it will also limit
engine speed to 1200 RPM. This additional
protection feature is referred to as S.A.F.E.
(Speed Adjusting Failsafe Electronics). If the
engine was running faster than 1200 RPM
when the S.A.F.E. mode activated, it will
shake noticeably. Under certain operating
conditions the EMM will shut OFF the engine.
 ENGINE MONITORING
A WARNING
In the S.A.F.E. mode, engine speed is limited. Under certain conditions, the engine’s
limited speed may reduce maneuverability of your boat. If the S.A.F.E. mode is activated and you are unable to correct the problem, seek assistance and/or return to

Product Information
INSTALLATION
A WARNING
Your outboard must not exceed the maximum horsepower indicated on the
boat’s capacity plate. Such overpowering can cause loss of control. Contact
your Dealer or the boat’s manufacturer if
your boat lacks a capacity plate.
Boats designed for remote-steered outboards might be overpowered by a tillersteered outboard of the maximum rated
horsepower. Ask your Dealer or boat
manufacturer if you are unsure about
your boat’s suitability.
Incorrectly matched boat and outboard
transom heights can cause boat instability and loss of control. Refer to Transom
Height.
Prevent lateral movement and possible
outboard loss by using the mounting
hardware supplied or hardware of sufficient size, strength, and quality. Refer to
Installing the Outboard on page 57.
A mounting surface that is damaged or
too thin to support your outboard while
underway might fail during operation,
causing a loss of control. Be sure the
boat’s transom or mounting bracket is
structurally sound and between 1 5/8 in.
(41 mm) and 2 3/4 in. (70 mm) in thickness.
TRANSOM HEIGHT
Make sure the transom height matches the
length of the outboard to be installed.
• A 19 to 21 in. (48.3 to 53.3 cm) transom
height uses a 20 in. (50.8 cm) shaft outboard.
• The shaft length of the outboard being installed should come close to matching the
transom height of the boat.
• Refer to Specifications on page 62 for
transom height.
Determine transom height by measuring from
the top edge of the transom, along the centerline.

PROPELLER
A WARNING
Propeller Selection
To select the correct propeller for your boating
application, your boat and outboard MUST be
water tested. See your Dealer for assistance.
IMPORTANT: The correct propeller for your
boat, under normal load conditions, will allow
the engine to run near the midpoint of the
RPM operating range at full throttle. Refer to
Specifications on page 62.
A WARNING
In dual-outboard installations, check to
make sure correct propellers are
installed on each outboard before
aggressively operating your boat. Shift
each engine individually into FORWARD
or REVERSE, at idle speed only. If the
boat moves opposite the direction indicated by the remote control handle, the
wrong propeller has been installed on
the outboard being checked.
Installation
When servicing the propeller, always
shift the outboard to NEUTRAL position,
turn the key switch OFF, and twist and
remove all spark plug wires so the outboard cannot be started accidentally.
Standard vs. Counter Rotation
Right-hand propellers are considered standard rotation propellers. When propelling a
boat forward, the propeller rotates in a righthand (clockwise) direction as viewed from the
rear.
NOTICE Apply Triple-Guard grease to
the entire propeller shaft before installing
the propeller. At least annually, remove
the propeller and check for debris. Clean

ADJUSTMENTS
Trim Tab
Dual standard rotation outboards —
Move both trim tabs equally and in the same
direction.
A WARNING
Improper trim tab adjustment can cause
difficult steering.
Dual outboards (one counter and one
standard rotation) — Set both trim tabs to
the center position.
A propeller will generate steering torque when
the propeller shaft is not running parallel to
the water’s surface. The trim tab is adjustable
to compensate for this steering torque.
Tilt Limiter Cam
IMPORTANT: A single trim tab adjustment
will relieve steering effort under only one set
of speed, outboard angle and load conditions.
No single adjustment can relieve steering effort under all speed, outboard angle and load
conditions. If the boat pulls to the left or right
when its load is evenly distributed, adjust the
trim tab as follows:
If your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well
while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit
maximum tilt-up.
With the outboard shut OFF, loosen the trim
tab screw. If the boat pulled to the right, move
the rear of the trim tab slightly to the right. If
the boat pulled to the left, move the rear of the
trim tab slightly to the left.

DR5158
Tighten the trim tab screw to a torque of 35-40
ft. lbs. (47-54 N·m).
Test the boat and, if needed, repeat the procedure until steering effort is as equal as possible.
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will NOT
prevent the outboard from tilting fully
and contacting the motor well if the gearcase hits an object at high speed. Such
contact could damage the outboard and
boat and injure boat occupants.

part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your outboard to an authorized BRP dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No dealer-scheduled maintenance for the first three years of normal recreational use? Really?
• Yes! BRP knows you want to spend your time out on the water, not servicing your Evinrude
E-TEC outboard. There are no valves to adjust, belts to service, chains to replace, or oil to
change. We do recommend pre-launch inspections of your outboard at each use and at regular intervals. Salt water applications require minimal additional inspections and lubrication.
What fuel octane is recommended for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Evinrude E-TEC outboards require a minimum octane of 87 (U.S.). Use of higher octane fuels is not harmful, but also not necessary.
What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC outboard require?
• Any TC-W3RL oil may be used. The outboard can be programmed by your Dealer to run on
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil for lower oil consumption and reduced operating cost. Refer to
Filling the Oil Tank on page 19; see also Oil Requirements on page 18.
Do I need to mix oil into my fuel?
• No. Evinrude E-TEC outboards do not require any mixing of oil and fuel.
Where should I take my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for service?
• For repairs covered under warranty, you must take your Evinrude E-TEC outboard to an authorized dealer. BRP-approved dealers and distributors have received the necessary training to properly service your outboard. Contact BRP for an authorized Evinrude E-TEC dealer
near you.
Can I order replacement parts and accessories for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts
with equivalent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. Using substandard
parts could result in injury or product malfunction. Your dealer can order the parts and accessories you desire.
Do I need to complete any paperwork when I move or sell my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Yes. In order to maintain contact with you or the new Evinrude E-TEC owner, BRP requests
you complete the form outlining Change of Address / Change of Ownership on page 83.
This will ensure you or the new owner is made aware of any product announcements and
keep the warranty coverage up-to-date.
What do I need to do before storing my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the winter?
• Winterization is minimal. Refer to Storage on page 49 for step-by-step instructions to store
your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the off-season.
